How high should my light be?

[ReefNerd76]

How far should my light be from the surface of my water? Here is my light and specs.

I'm thinking 8 inches.

Thank you, right now it's at 5"

 

[Elementalj]

Oooo, I'd raise it up a bit. Even just for safety's sake.

 

[Elementalj]

Is that a lil 5.5?

A little 5.5??? What do you mean ?

I would agree to raise it a little if possible, but I can't tell from the picture if that mount is in fact adjustable.

 

[Elementalj]

The tank, is it a 5.5 gallon?

He was asking if it was a 5.5 gallon tank. It's actually a 10 gallon according to their intro thread.

I raised it up to about 7-8 inches and yes it is adjustable, thank you for the advice

Yes 10 Gallon Nano with 10 gallon sump with refugium

 

[Elementalj]

Is the intensity adjustable? I.e. Are there any controls for color?

I love little tanks. Mine is currently a 5.5 so I was going to invite you to the pico thread. [emoji106][emoji851][emoji1363]

No just night and day

Ok. Keep an eye on your corals. Make sure they aren't receding or deflating because of the intensity. I've seen the max wattage on the package, and to be honest, I believe that number to be misleading when it comes to led's.
